đźš° 3. Can drain cleaner damage pipes?
This is a very important question.
Yes — some drain cleaners can damage pipes if they’re used incorrectly or too often. However, Triple Red is safe when:
- Used in the recommended dosage
- Poured directly into clogged or slow-draining pipes
- Allowed to sit as directed, then flushed with water
It's designed to be safe on:
- PVC piping
- Copper and metal drains
- Septic systems (if used occasionally)
⚠️ Do not mix with other cleaners or acids. Always wear gloves and ventilate the area.
🧬 4. Why is drain cleaner alkaline?
Great chemistry question.
Most powerful drain cleaners, like Triple Red, are alkaline-based because they:
- Break down organic matter like hair, food, and grease
- React with fatty acids to form soap, which washes away
- Emulsify clogs so water can flow freely again
Alkaline drain cleaners are generally safer and more effective than acid-based ones, which can corrode pipes if misused.
